Material Selection

• To meet cosmetic and performance requirements, ABS performance polyurethane resin was selected. It provided competent mechanical properties, including impact resistance.

Production Schedule

• Rapid prototyping and testing4 days
• Silicon rubber molding and testing4 days
• 50 units manufacturing by vacuum casting6 days
• After-treatment was done by our experienced technicians2 days
• Total16 days
